The original nut holding the front sprocket didn’t have a cutout allowing for the splines to be recessed into it. Consequently the lock washer floated on the splines and eventually fell off - please be kind….I knew it didn’t seem right but went with it since that’s how it was when I got it. This is what it looks like now with a new washer and nut with a cutout. Does this look like the way it should be? Thinking about the amount of spline coming through the washer. It’s 530 chain by the way Any help is greatly appreciated.   |

That looks about right - the washer wont be flush with the ends of the splines, hence the recess in the nut. Dusty  |

Thanks, I’ll double check the clutch as well to make sure |

just make sure you fit the cut out side to the washer and it'll work fine.
